'OLIVER!' Sell out performances all week
A first for the Society is sell out performances for every show
Many of our more senior members cannot recall every show selling out in this way. Even the Gatehouse Theatre staff are amazed at the popularity of this show and could have sold many tickets several times over.
It's unfortunate that some people will not be able to see our show but we hope they will book early for our next production of '42nd Street'
Well done to everyone involved in putting this production onto the Gatehouse stage and a big thank you to all our audiences throughout the week

Society raises £450 for local Group for Deaf Children
We recently organised a fundraising trip to see 'Leagally Blonde' at the Regent Theatre and as a result raised £450 which has been presented to a local charity, South Staffs Deaf Children's Society, and I think everyone will agree it was a fantastic show and to have raised this amount of money for such a good cause makes it all the more worthwhile.
Donna Dale, The Charity representative, said " Your support is greatly appreciated and will enable us to help hearing impaired children and their families"
